Well, I doubt I'll make the board proud. My last meet was in '94 a deadlift meet and I pulled around 410 in the 148's ( Missed weight at 132) I have not deadlifted since, till about a month ago when I decided to come back and compete again. Well after a mini cycle just to see where I was.... I barely pulled 230! ( my very first meet in '85 I pulled 315 & 132 for crying out loud) this was depressing enough to almost make me say never mind! But felt that was a cop out!

It is what it is! So just going to suck it up train and hit this meet and just go from there. For this reason I'm not going to train by % instead I'm just going to use reps I'm hoping I can gain it back faster then it took to get it in the beginning.

3 weeks doing 8 reps , then 5 weeks of 5 reps for a set or 2 depending on how the first set went will keep notes. And ending with 1 week of hitting a triple and the last week hitting a double.

Will base my opener off of what I do for the triple, my 2nd attempt based off what I do for the double ( give or take) So don't look for big numbers from me for a while!

P.S. I got a PM from someone forgot now because I already deleated it, but I don't seem to be able to reply to them. Or at least it's showing that I didn't reply. So if you didn't get it, sorry! I tried to reply. Hope you can make that meet in VA. in Dec.
